Highland County Board of Commissioners President Shane Wilkin announced Wednesday that an upcoming barbecue contest and festival set for September at Rocky Fork Lake has a new “major headline sponsor.”

Wilkin had mentioned the sponsorship at a recent Ohio Department of Natural Resources ceremony at Rocky Fork Lake.

Wilkin said more information on the sponsor will be forthcoming, adding that the name of the event has been changed from “Smoke on the Water” to “Smoke in the Hills” due to copyright issues. Read more here.
